JACOB'S PROPHECY CONCERNING JUDAH!
Genesis 49:1-2, 8-12, 28-33
[1] And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
[2] Gather yourselves together, and hear, you sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
[8] Judah, you are he whom your brethren shall praise: your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies; your father's children shall bow down before you.
[9] Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, you are gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
[10] The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh* come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be.
[11] Binding His foal unto the vine, and His ass's colt unto the choice vine; He washed His garments in wine, and His clothes in the blood of grapes:
[12] His eyes shall be red with wine, and His teeth white with milk.
[28] All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
[29] And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
[30] In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying place.
[31] There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.*
[32] The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
[33] And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
[29] And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
[30] In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying place.
[31] There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.*
[32] The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
[33] And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
Notes: Shiloh* is translated from the Hebrew shiyloh, and is pronounced shee-lo; a title meaning "tranquility," and most likely refers to the Lord's title in Isaiah 9:6 where the Messiah is called "the Prince of Peace."
Leah* was buried in the same cave as Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Rebekah. This is interesting in that Jacob was tricked into marrying Leah, and the Scripture states Leah was hated but Rachel was loved by Jacob (Genesis 29:30-31). Rachel was buried in Bethlehem (Genesis 35:19).
JESUS: THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH!
Revelation 5:1-5
[1] And I saw in the right hand of Him Who sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
[2] And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
[3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
[4] And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
[5] And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
[2] And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
[3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
[4] And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
[5] And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
JESUS: HIS SECOND COMING DESCRIBED!
Revelation 19:11-16
[11] And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He Who sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He does judge and make war.
[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself.
[13] And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.
[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
[15] And out of His mouth went a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
[16] And He had on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself.
[13] And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.
[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

[16] And He had on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
FROM THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE TO THE LAST; ONE MESSAGE IS CLEAR:
WHAT GOD SAYS WILL HAPPEN, WILL DEFINITELY AND LITERALLY HAPPEN!
